Bible Verse of the Day 4th January:

1 Timothy 5:13

“Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.”

Message:

Nobody feel bad and ashamed when they gossip about someone. Without utilizing the valuable time for a better reason, some of us waste it by gossiping. The Bible says that gossiping becomes a habit when someone is idle. So if you are struggling hard to stop this habit then, never keep yourself idle. Engage your time and efforts on things which are useful and beneficial to you and others. Realize from this verse that gossiping is just nonsense and it is just a waste of time.
